Liu tried to pull a fast one

Comptroller John Liu’s plan to turn a Chinatown holiday bash into a campaign fund-raiser has been nixed over legal questions.

The scandal-snared Liu, whose aggressive fund- raising has been under scrutiny for months, had planned to solicit donations at the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association’s annual holiday party.

But after The Post reported last week that the party could violate campaign-finance as well as IRS nonprofit regulations, he changed his mind.

Jack Eng, president of the 130-year-old CCBA, said it had been unaware of the regulations when it agreed to allow Liu to set up a table to collect contributions.“Now we understand we can’t do it,” Eng said.

The federal tax code prohibits tax-exempt groups from advocating for political candidates or making their facilities available without charging a fair market price.

If you can afford to buy the mayoralty,it doesn't matter what kind of shady back room, under the table deals you make with developers, financiers and contractors who don't happen to be of the "Charlie Chan " variety.The media, and apparently the public will have your back for a good long time. Guess we ALL have our price. For some, a free table, for others,the future indentured servitude of the citizenry in the playground of the rich that they will no longer be able to afford to live in.Guess the real chutzpah is trying it "on the cheap" , and not in grand, enforced secrecy fashion.That Liu is not connected to Wall St. or Ugland House is telling. Professional thievery under cover of bloated success and robber-baron philanthropy wins the day for now.

Rupert Murdoch & family continue to come under harsh scrutiny in the UK - too bad people here in the US are not equally skeptical of items coming from the NY Post (not to mention the Wall Street Journal and FOX News).

@ neversleep- The real motto should be" We've become spineless sheeple who will allow ourselves to be bought by the likes of a Boston carpetbagger based solely on the (reported) size of his bank account and outsized ego.So much so that we will turn over our city to let it be raped for the plunder of under the table bucks, meanwhile mortgaging our futures and putting our kids' education in the sh*tter!"

Nobody will have to get used to any false notions that they will be running our nation nor any other.

The "Chi-Coms" are losing their former strangle holdand wont be running China much longer.

The pugnacious Asiatic horde has just hit its bamboo ceiling in the U.S.A. and are at the end of their leash.

"Heel, doggie"!

When China begins to seriously unravel (it's already begun) they will be faced with problems of such great magnitude....that it will be keeping them busy for at least half a century cleaning up their own house.

China is a cumbersome nation.

It's clumsy unwieldy size will cause it to wobble on its axis until it finally tumbles off of it.

There are too many inhabitants currently demanding a good "Western" lifestyle which their government can't really deliver.

Final result:Unrest; implosion; collapse!

Only a fragment of the great land that Emperor Chin first envisioned will survive.

China could never have maintained its "unity" over 5,0000 years without a totalitarian government controlling its "children"through terror tactics.

The New World demands DEMOCRACY!!!

The heavy handed governments of the old emperors or Chairman Mao are buried forever with those clay effigies of ancient warriors.

As if Bloomberg isn't the Boss Tweed of the 21st century, though by more genteel means. Has it no significance to you that the DOE is run out of the Tweed courthouse? The symbolism is just TOO obvious. Do you really enjoy the prospect of a future paying for the kleptocracy of Mr. $1 a year?Cos, my friend, if this isn't stopped, that's what we'll all be doing. Paying for the shady, kickback driven deals brokered by Mayor Moneybags. You've already drunk the purple Kool-Aid apparently...

If you REALLY believe all of the stuff that you spout I have a bridge that rubs between Brooklyn and Manhattan that I'd like to sell to you. It seems like you've been buying a lot of other stuff without thinking also.
